Herbatonin®3mg is for jet lag, shift work and people who have low melatonin production due to lifestyle or age and/or need support in aligning their circadian rhythm. Melatonin is a hormone released by the pineal gland in the brain to aid bio-rhythm regulation. Melatonin secretion is enhanced in darkness, decreased by light exposure and also declines with age.According to the Journal of Pineal Research 1995: 18: 28-31, Melatonin†:

Synchronizes circadian rhythms

Stimulates the immune system

Acts as a potent brain anti-oxidant

Melatonin works as an antioxidant, combating free radicals which can cause oxidative damage to our cells. Uniquely, it can also cross the blood-brain barrier, making it one of the most potent antioxidants in the brain. Most substances, including antioxidants that we consume, do not cross this barrier. Yet, the wisdom of nature has provided us the ability to manufacture this defense mechanism and may in part explain its benefit in support of cognition.Melatonin has been shown to support NF-kappa B, an important cellular signaling agent which regulates inflammation.Mitochondria, being the cellular source of energy are also the target of oxidative damage. The sensitive nature of mitochondrial membranes, which can be damaged by a plethora of factors, may be supported melatonin. Melatonin is selectively taken up by mitochondrial membranes, a function not shared by other antioxidants.

Important Note for Adults and Parents

As per the labeling on our boxes, we do not recommend the use of melatonin with children under the age of 18. Children under the age of 18 naturally produce 2-3 times more melatonin than an adult. Melatonin is a hormone that our body produces naturally. Our body triggers its own production when it registers darkness. This happens through the retina in the eye, which signals the body’s own production of melatonin when it is in darkness. This means that if you are watching television, playing on the computer or have a night light on close to bed time you won’t be allowing your body to make and retain its own melatonin. For this reason we always recommend that you try going to sleep in darkness and doing relaxation/meditation exercises before you start to use melatonin.

In addition, make sure you actually need melatonin. If you exercise in the evening then sometimes cortisol production can peak late at night, impacting your sleep cycle making it hard to fall asleep. If you consume large amounts of sugars through food or soda it can disrupt your blood sugar and spike energy production late at night again making it hard to fall asleep.

We always suggest starting with the lowest dose of 0.3mg and build up from there if necessary, as starting melatonin in high doses and trying to go off it in the future is much harder. For children, if a parent still decides to use melatonin we suggest working with your doctor closely. Please also feel free to contact our medical.team@naturalhi.comfor further support.

Herbatonin® is a 100% natural plant extract from a particular variety of rice with a standardized level of 3mg of melatoninper capsule of Herbatonin®.

Herbatonin® is the only plant based melatonin on the market. All other melatonin is derived from the pineal gland of animals or synthesized in a laboratory.

Herbatonin® or plant melatonin has been found in several plants (Dubbels et al., 1995; Hattori et al, 1995). The hormone is also present in algae, where its role may be acting as a phytohormone and anti-oxidant (Balzer and Hardeland, 1996). Amount varies in different species, from 0 to 800 pg/mg protein, with the highest amount found in rice family Gramineae.

The identity of plant melatonin was verified by HPLC. Biological and pharmacological identity with animal melatonin was demonstrated by activity in chicks and rabbits. Dietary (ingested) plant melatonin influences plasma levels and brain receptor binding. Some selected references related to the existence of plant melatonin and the action of Melatonin in in-vivo laboratory models and in humans are included below:
